I vibe coded a couple of maze related kids games. Never thought about doing a whole maze related micro-site, but I like the concept! If anyone's looking for something to entertain …

This reply makes me think that my original post also comes across as overly dismissive of reasonable debate around code changes. As you've stated, years of development has made me …

One thing I expected from the AI era was a decrease in emotional attachment to code reviews. My assumption was that AI-generated code would make reviews easier because criticism of…

Makes a lot of sense :) thanks for the update. I'll try to remember to creepy stalk you for updates as the device sounds great!

Did you have any luck with the power issues on the new board?

Not sure if it's just my age but pair programming seems to have a different meaning these days. It used to mean that two developers would literally sit next to each other, one woul…

That's now how it works though is it? ignoring agents Junior dev working on feature X Junior dev makes a lot of commits and creates PR Senior dev reviews code, spots problems a,b,c…

Because I don't review everything between changes, there might be 10 small commits I review and state I am happy with, then I might prompt the agent to perform some small refactors…

If you haven't read the first blog post it's pretty good at explaining the concepts. https://blog.buenzli.dev/announcing-development-on-flirt/ The demo is particularly good if you …

It doesn't. The difference is that we as humans are held accountable for our non-determinism. The consequences of our actions have real world implications on our lives.

Heh, agree it sounds absurd doesn't it. I would imagine instead companies will end up sleeping walking into this scenario until catastrophy hits.

Has anyone got any insights into what hiring software engineers looks like these days? As someone currently with a job and not hiring it is hard to imagine. Has there been any sort…

I loved the section about trying to fight against a system that isn't deterministic. LLMs because of their nature require constant hand-holding by humans, unless business are willi…

The README is really annoying. You used to be able to tell so easily what was a good well looked after repo by viewing the effort and detail that had gone into the README. Now it's…

There's limits to AGENTS.md too, a junior will start to understand the concepts/rationale and design decisions and be able to apply that knowledge to future problems, the LLM will …

I find talking to LLMs both amazing and frustrating, a computer that can understand my plain text ramblings is incredible, but it's inability to learn is frustrating. A good exampl…

It’s easy to overlook what I think is the real value of these “home-built” tools. We can now produce products and apps that are tailored to our own preferred ways of working. Regar…

lol this might have been a mistake, this is the most players it's ever had on it....

I fear you'll be very disappointed :joy: It doesn't work on mobile, and unless you played it back in the day the feedback from my friends who I've introduced it too, is that it's g…

Ah, sorry, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. I think ultimately I've succumbed to the fact that writing code is no longer a primary aspect of my job. Reading/reviewing an…

Let's put it this way, I don't think AI will take my job/career away until company owners are also prepared to also let it handle being on-call. I still very accountable for the co…

I've paid, but I am usually quick to adopt/trial things like this. I think for me it's a case of fear of being left behind rather than missing out. I've been a developer for over 2…

I think DHH said it best recently when he stated "I can literally feel competence draining out of my fingers"

I agree with your statement and perhaps my example is bad/too specific in this case. Once I started working this way however, I found myself starting to adapt to it. It's not unusu…
